Oh hey...

OK, I fell off.

Right now, I am braising two enormous veal chops for stuffing whilst roasting an onion and fighting evil all at once. I am a busy guy. Smacking my lips and shaking my ass.

I know that being hyped on David Shire's incredible score to the original Taking of Pelham One Two Three is kinda bullshit what with the new adaptation set to be released this summer... but this Denzel busted-ass remake will have nothing on the original 1974 Walter Matthau high-stepper. And I am damn sure the music will not come close to the erratic, bombastic street-funk that won David Shire two Grammys. So, I will still be hyped.

And this Denzel/Travolta madness will need to be really really good for me to even consider it for viewing (unlike the dirty made-for-TV Edward James Olmos disaster...).

Get with it.
